Hi all, I'm trying to shrink a double-sided DVD to a managable size with DVDShrink then take an image of the videos with ImgTool and finally burn the image onto a DVD+R with DVDDecrypter. During the 1st step (using DVDShrink), I was able to compressed and eliminated unused files to get the size down below the 4.6 MB limit. However, on the 2nd step when I used ImgTool to take an image of the above video_ts directory, it gave me an image larger than 12 MB thus exceed the size of a DVD+R. I tried to go on and burn the image anyway with DVD Decrypter and got an error message at the end (though the DVD ran fine on my DVD player (without the extra stuff, of course!)). Could anyone please shred some light on this? Is this normal to have the image file that large? If possible, could someone show me what I do wrong in getting everything burnt on a single DVD? Many thanks in advance for your help! Regards, HXNGUYEN
Corrections... the sizes stated above should be 4.6 GB and 12 GB, respectively. Sorry for the confusion! HXNGUYEN
4.6 GB is still too big to burn to DVD. You should get the size to 4.4 GB to be able to burn the whole movie to DVD. DVD Shrink can not produce ISO/UDF Image files but CloneDVD can. This tool is proberly better for the task you have in mind.
Well if the files you have created fit into a DVD-R you will not have no problem. Have a look at my ImgTool guide: http://users.auth.gr/~ichatzim/imgtool.htm and I think it will answer your questions.
CloneDVD will do it alot better than IMGTOOL will be able to do. CloneDVD will nearly do it in one click and produce excellent results. The choice is up to you ;D
Well koola ImgTool is a freeware tool! I agree CloneDVD is better (a lot better actually) and I use it too, but not anyone wants to spend money for it! See ya!
